The astrological houses, in contrast to the astronomical ones defined on the equator, are defined on the ecliptic and, hence, their coordinates have to be computed for every day and every place separately. In a survey of Arabic manuscripts, \textit{J. D. North} in his book Horoscopes and History, (London 1986) identified seven computational methods. Here the author first gives the solution in modern terms and then discusses in detail 28 manuscript sources spanning the time from 820 to 1660. In doing so, he discovered another two methods. Most of the methods are illustrated by a figure giving the auxiliary data needed; only one of the sources had an illustration of that kind. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00012].
